In this paper, the problem of achieving high accuracy positioning of a medical robot is studied. The Northeast Proton Therapy Center, at the Massachusetts General Hospital, is a new cancer research and treatment facility. A major component of the center is a robotic patient positioning system that will carry and position patients in a proton beam. The desired positioning accuracy of the robot i...
Abstract Background and purpose: Extensive application of x-ray as a diagnostic tool has created a global concern. Repeating a radiograph doubles radiation dose to the patient and staff. It was expected that development of digital facilities could decrease the rate of re-take of radiographs. The aim of this study was to investigate the causes for repeating digital panoramic radiographs. Mat...
Introduction: Injury to cranial nerves IX, X, and XII is a known complication of laryngoscopy and intubation. Here we present a patient with concurrent hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after rhinoplasty. Case Report: The patient was a 27-year-old woman who was candidate for rhinoplastic surgery. The next morning after the operation, the patient complained of dysphonia and a s...
this article is intended to provide an overview of various aspects of clinical pet/ct. these include discussions of: (i) important areas of clinical application; (ii) opportunities in clinical research; (iii) scanner and operating-mode considerations (e.g. bgo vs. lso, lyso or gso scanners, 2d vs. 3d imaging). (iv) study-specific considerations (e.g. patient preparation and positioning issues, ...
To investigate Cherenkov imaging (Cherenkoscopy) based patient positioning and movement tracking during external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). In a phase 1 clinical trial, including 12 patients undergoing post-lumpectomy whole breast irradiation, Cherenkov emission was imaged with a time-gated ICCD camera synchronized to the LINAC pulse output, during different fractions of the treatment. Pati...
The perioperative nurse involved in the intraoperative care of the obese patient is faced with numerous issues and challenges. As a growing number of these patients present for medical care, the nurse must consider the special positioning needs for surgery and the equipment needed to promote the safest environment for the patient. This article addresses positioning considerations for the obese ...
The number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures continuously increases, with good to excellent results. In the last few years, new surgical techniques have been developed to improve prosthesis positioning. In this context, patient-specific instrumentation is included. The goal of this study was to compare the perioperative parameters and the spatial positioning of prosthetic components i...

Introduction: The present study was aimed at evaluating common positioning errors on panoramic radiographs taken in the Radiology Department of Mashhad Dental School. Materials and methods: The study sample included 1,990 digital panoramic radiographs taken in the Radiology Department of Mashhad Dental School by a Planmeca Promax (Planmeca Oy, Helsinki, Finland), during a 2-year period (2010–20...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is agreement, although little evidence, that consistently positioning stroke patients in allegedly reflex-inhibiting positions is therapeutic and will enhance functional recovery. The nursing staff, therefore, needs to know and implement these postures and understand their potential underlying value. We examined nurses' knowledge of and practice in positioning strok...
